Shared Driveway nightmare

When I spoke with them they said “what’s the problem, there’s no problem” basically not taking me seriously. On another occasion I spoke with them they told me I was the problem.
yes, I am waiting another few days to see if things improve as they should have got the letter from letting agency as that would have been a week then. 

We live in a similar shared access property, we have neighbours who we are all friends with use one of the two access points to park their car. It doesn't affect us too much but at time is a nuisance as we can comfortably get on and off our drive. I sympathise with you as its not something you should have to put up with.

Make sure to send a formal complaint to the letting agent each 2 weeks if they continue to not restrict the shared drive. This will force the letting agent/landlord to take action and can mean they may not get a reference for a future tenancy. Don't communicate with the tenants as that the LA/LL job and you dont want a dispute on file or at least until they leave.

Just ask them to move it when you need to get past, and when you daughter is moving in ask them to leave it clear at a specific date and time.

Continue phoning / writing to the rental agency for them to get the landlord involved.

Is it for pedestrian access or is thier vehicle blocking you from gettingyour vehicle to your garage?

Worst advice I've seen on here today, and that's saying something.

he said he would write to them telling them that there is no parking on the shared driveway and they are not to park there.  This was last week but the tenants continue to park on the shared driveway.
When last week?
They might not have received the letter yet. It would have to be typed up- probably in queue with other letters- signed and posted, probably  second class.

Or still on the pile of things to do.

OP have you contacted the owner?

I would block them in. When they ask you to move just ask what's the problem!

oh come on.  neighbours always do something annoying, it’s much better just to get on with each other than resort to complaints and hassle and legal action. OP seems to have skipped the reasonable steps and gone straight to the latter.

The next thing I get a visit from a policeman as they are saying I am harassing them, so have been advised by the policeman not to communicate with them.  

This bit is odd, and suggests to me there is more to this tale.
Why would the police get involved in what is (on the face of it) a parking dispute?

I was told by the policeman not to communicate with them... they will class it as harassment.
